Drone Flight Calculations

Drone Flight

• The drone has a horizontal displacement of 240 feet
• The drone has a vertical displacement of 25 feet
• The angle of descent is the angle between the drone's path and the horizontal
• The distance of the drone's path is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, where the horizontal distance is one leg and the vertical distance is the other leg.
• The angle of descent can be found using the arctangent function
• The distance of the drone's path can be found using the Pythagorean theorem
• The angle of descent to the nearest degree is 6 degrees
• The distance of the drone's path to the nearest tenth of a foot is 241.9 feet

This quiz covers the calculations involved in drone flight, focusing on horizontal and vertical displacements. It examines how to determine the angle of descent using the arctangent function and the distance of the drone's path using the Pythagorean theorem. Test your understanding of these essential concepts!
